Luis Diaz is about to join Bayern, paving the way for Alexander Isak to Liverpool?

TPO - With a second offer worth 75 million euros sent to Liverpool, Bayern is very close to an agreement to buy Luis Diaz. This could push the reigning English champions to activate the blockbuster named Alexander Isak.

Liverpool rejected a €67.5m (£58.6m) bid from Bayern for Luis Diaz earlier this summer, but talks resumed on Friday (July 26) for the Colombian, with both sides agreeing on a €75m (£65.6m) deal on Saturday.

Bayern's initial top target was Florian Wirtz, but he lost out to Liverpool. The German club also failed to sign Spanish winger Nico Williams, who decided to stay in Bilbao. That's why Bayern are determined to get Diaz, who can play in multiple positions across the front line.

Despite having a contract with the Anfield team until June 2027, Diaz has confirmed that he wants to leave this summer. Ahead of the friendly against Milan on Saturday, coach Arne Slot also left the striker, who scored 17 goals in all competitions last season, out of the registration list.

"This is about Lucho's (Luis Diaz) future," said coach Slot. "There have been a lot of rumors recently about whether he will stay or go. I can only say that he is training very well but we have made a temporary decision that Diaz will not play."

Diaz is unlikely to play for Liverpool again as negotiations with Bayern are nearing an end. The Reds signed striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt for €91m a few days ago. They are also keen on Newcastle's Alexander Isak and Diaz's departure could help to speed up those plans.

In addition, the English champions are also ready to sell Darwin Nunez this summer, paving the way for Harvey Elliott if the player wants to say goodbye.
